Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In this study, we aim to compare intracapsular tonsillectomy with Coblator (CIT), intracapsular tonsillectomy with microdebrider (PIT), and conventional extracapsular tonsillectomy for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA),with the following objectives;
1.Comparison of Postoperative Pain
We will compare pain scores from the day after surgery through postoperative day 5 across surgical techniques to evaluate the degree of pain reduction. Additionally, the amount of analgesic use will be assessed to examine postoperative recovery.
2.Verification of Safety
We will record adverse events such as postoperative hemorrhage and tissue damage to evaluate differences in safety between procedures.
3.Assessment of Surgical Factors
We will investigate whether differences in surgical time or the surgeon's years of experience influence the outcomes depending on the surgical method.
4.Evaluation of Postoperative Course
After discharge, patients'apnea status will be assessed using questionnaires.
Through these analyses, we aim to establish criteria for selecting the optimal tonsillectomy technique for pediatric OSA, and to provide evidence that will contribute to the development of clinical guidelines and the standardization of medical practice in Japan.
